Because this company is now in the hands of CCA, the Communications Corporation of America; there’s a new chairman of the board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy’s office on the twentieth floor.
And when the 12th largest company in the world controls the most awesome godd... propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what s... will be peddled for truth on this network?
'Journalists' and the left (okay, redundant) continue to present "What are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?" descriptions of events. They do so at the cost of their credibility.
Exactly so.
OR He has already learned the lesson of impeachment and is getting rid of seditionists.

Yes, because Trump is the first President who ever used profanity in the White House, don’cha know.
